Soup Du Jour

Special Sandwich

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Add the fresh basil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Blend (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to purée the soup to your desired consistency.

Sandwich Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Bread

    Spread mayonnaise on one slice of sourdough bread and mustard on the other slice.

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    On the mayonnaise side, layer the slices of cheddar cheese, followed by tomato slices and lettuce leaves.

  3. 8

    Assemble Sandwich

    Top with the other slice of bread (mustard side down) and press gently.

    Toast (Optional)

    For a warm sandwich, you can grill it in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
